Sunday Faith Blog

Debbie has an amazing article I hope you all read..HERE. For those of you who care about businesses going under due to more and more regulations, and businesses being compromised for the fact that they are Christian people living with Christian principles, please give it a read and send it around to your email/Facebook people. Thanks from Debbie and all of us on the GeeeZ staff.

"We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, ... "Not a religious organization?And Ive been wondering for a while now, why our First Amendment rights are constarined to "religious organizations".A local business here (http://weingartz.com), large but not as large. is facing the same situation, as are many.Once again I must control the rage I feel at the idiots who voted to retain this gang.

1 John 4:3 and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Ed, what do you mean by "not a religious organization?" I think I'm reading you wrong. A company has every right to run its shop on as many religious fundamentals as they like as long as they're not breaking laws and they're paying their taxes and not forcing any employee to partake...right? But then to be forced to pay for things so against their sensibilities is wrong...right?

SF...that's a good point; as long as Christians keep it in the church, they're okay...or at least 'acceptable'...imagine? When our founding fathers were so clear about running this country on the blessings of God and His laws.

AOW...I think we Christians ARE giving in much easier than Muslims would if they ever had any restriction to islam.

Brooke....you're right, we have to keep a stiff upper lip and rely on the one True God.

Cons on Fire..it's part of the atheist protocol.

Thersites...I'm not clear on the Fabian Society's dealings and have got to run now so I can't Google..please explain your point. and thanks.Also, thanks for your comment at Mac n' GeeeZ

I was saying that by his mission statement, to run his business in accordance with God's law, how is it not a religious organization?Just because I'm a secular employee,I'm not excluded from protection of religion. Is a bible bookstore safe?What makes an organization religious?

Ed, I'm appearing so dense but still not quite getting your point. I'm so sorry.Whose side are you on? :-)

Are we to the point that if a man is Godly, and running his business with kindness and fairness and everything else good, it's a religious business? I don't think so! It would never be considered an atheist business if he was an atheist.

Are you saying anybody's suspect?

Some businesses owned by strong Christians may not mind paying for the day-after abortion pill...I don't see how they could, but..

Let's me be LUCY and you be RICKY and 'splain', please, what you mean.

It doesn't sound to me like their employees who might not be believers mind a bit, particularly with the amazing salaries and benefits they give!

I think you're on the same page as I but emails/comments sometimes make it difficult to grasp the full meaning!?

Thanks!

Sue, I wondered who that was! What's the significance of the screen name and why have a new one?!

Wow, Thersites, this is an eye-opener! I remember studying Fabians in school but didn't remember what they were known for.You're right...our leftwingers are Fabians. Except they're speeding up now thinking nobody's watching.

And, mostly, nobody IS. thanks...Fabians are definitely in control right now.

Tried discussing this with my MIL and she refusing to believe any of this. She totally back Obama and I don't even know if she even realized what his agenda is? She is close to retirement, she should be concerned, very concerned.

Z: About Lincoln:A liberal friend posted on FB that he loved the movie, and I said I was going to see it.Another of his "friend"s commented:"You will also love this movie, Ed, because the Republicans are brilliant and the Dems are embarassingly horrid! Really. Great history lessons here for all of us."I did not find it slow in the least.Political junkies should eat it up.It's like watching the American Version of "Amazing Grace", the Wilberforce battle to end slavery in Britain.Shows all the political manipulation.Looking forward to seeing it again.

As to my previous comment.If Hobby Lobby's mission statement is to "Honor God" (in so many words as posted at Debby's), why is it not a "religious organization" for purposes of the law? Would a Christian Bookstore not be a "religious organization"?Does "For Profit" disqualify being religious?We will find out (via SCOTUS) what defines a religious organization.We should be in prayer.

Ed, if people are running their company that has nothing to do with religion at all with good Godly principles, how's that a religious company?I just don't see that at all.I suppose things are that nutty that our gov't could pull something on us like that, but REALLY?

I'm thinking churches will be the first things to lose tax exemption and THAT is something we need to be praying for. Funny that it's churches that help the needy so much and gov't could take even that from society.. ANYTHING to make everyone TOTALLY dependent on the state.

I'd like to see LINCOLN and am glad for your review. The Republicans made the Dems look terrible? Gee, things haven't changed much, have they :-)

The American gave hmup its right to *itch about the government when it sold its soul for tax exempt status. Now we complain about the gubmint providing for others and we The Church handed those responsibilities to the gubmint for a few dollars. We're reaping what we sow.

Charles Rhodes in the late 1,800's was in S. Africa, and saw a group of young lads with bonding camaraderie.And wondered why not have the same in England. So he started in the College of Cambridge. He told the English lads of the stories of Fabius Maximus, and then asked if that name would be acceptable, and they agreed.Thus The Rhodes Scholars.Key word for a secret member of the Fabians.Bubba is a Rhodes Scholar even though he did not stay there very long, just to be inducted as a Fabian. Chelsse, his daughter went to Cambridge and became a Rhodes Scholar. Note she did not stay very long, either, just to be inducted as a Fabian. Father like daughter.George Orwell wrote the book 1984 as a celebration for 100 years of the Fabians. The Fabians were into technology, and all the things written in the book 1984 was a insight to what the Fabians were introducing to the world! And now we see it come to be.I've commented this several times on several blogs and was laughed at. But I don't care.After Reagan recovered from the attempt to off him, was surrounded by Fabians. They wanted to be right there in his counsel to see what he was up to. They could not do another public attack.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away fromextinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must befought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day wewill spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children whatit was once like in the United States where men werefree." -- Ronald Reagan

Mac 'n GeeeZis my food blog...enjoy! Sorry I haven't added to it in a long while.

President Obama has done such a horrible job with the economy and foreign policy that now Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States :-)

important reminders:

We are surrounded by IDIOTS...Mr. Z

“Barack Obama's political genius is his ability to say things that will sound good to people who have not followed the issues in any detail —regardless of how obviously fraudulent what he says may be to those who have. Shameless effrontery can be a huge political asset, especially if uninformed voters outnumber those who are informed.” Thomas Sowell.........AMENTolerance is the last virtue of a dying society. (doesn't matter who wrote it, it's true and it's here)

The modern definition of 'racist' is someone who is winning an argument with a liberal.... Peter Brimelow

The difference between golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie. ~George Deukmejian
